At the UN General Assembly in New York, US President Donald Trump met with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham for the first time. Trump praised Burnham as a 'natural businessman' and said the relationship between the US and UK is 'more up' than under Keir Starmer. The discussion covered a range of topics, including Rolls-Royce, energy, and immigration. However, Trump criticized the UK's decision to relinquish control of the Chagos Islands.
In a separate development, Florida Republican Byron Donalds, the GOP nominee for governor, removed multiple mentions of Trump from his campaign website, indicating a public distancing from the president. This follows criticism of Trump's immigration policies by fellow Florida Republican María Elvira Salazar.
During his UN address, Trump suggested a potential decision regarding Iran, which has shown strong resistance to US actions. He also mentioned that Iran and the US held talks on the sidelines of the UN summit, with further meetings planned. Meanwhile, Trump's speech was described as a 'spectacle of raw power' and marked a departure from traditional US idealism at the UN.
In another UN-related development, Spain has allowed the US extradition request for James 'Fergie' Chambers, a pro-Palestine activist, to proceed in Spanish courts. Chambers is currently imprisoned in Madrid and is accused of supporting Hamas through financial donations.
